Chapter 176: Slaying the Dan-Yao Monarch Again (Another chapter will be late)_1
Seeing that the other party had already grasped his intentions,
the White Jade Rabbit Demon cast her gaze onto the two women beside her, looking thoroughly content before she too attempted to stand.
Suddenly, a strange expression flitted across her face.
She definitively made a motion to rise, yet couldn't actually stand up.
The reason was an additional hand with distinct joints resting on her fair and delicate shoulder, seemingly laid there casually, yet it pressed her into her seat with irresistible force.
White Jade Rabbit Demon looked up and met a handsome visage, its eyes clear and bright beneath his flowing hair.
This youth, who entered the teahouse at an unhurried pace, neither looked at the Golden Bell on the table nor the women beside it.
As if he didn't care about these matters.
He quietly watched the charming face of the Rabbit Demon, as if his gaze had room only for her.
"What do you want?"
The Rabbit Demon's heartbeat suddenly quickened—she hadn't felt such a gaze even during the most affectionate times with her husband years ago. It was as if the whole world only held her in importance.
What confused her even more was the profound joy hidden in those pitch-black pupils, like a flickering flame, seemingly ready to greedily devour her completely.
Under such scrutiny, a chill shot up her spine to the top of her head, and her body instantly tensed.
"..."
Shen Yi inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
That was really close, he almost didn't make it in time.
This delicious Demon Core, he nearly missed out on it to someone else.
The slightly eerie scene in the teahouse didn't last long.
The next moment,
Shen Yi suddenly threw a punch, like a fist of white jade fiercely striking the lovely face of the Rabbit Demon!
There was no ripple of aura, only the pure force of his physical body.
The Rabbit Demon's skull cracked, her entire face abruptly collapsed inwards, as her fair and delicate skin was torn grotesquely under the brunt of the fist.
"I..."
The Rabbit Demon was an Embrace Pill Realm Demon Monarch, her body unimaginable resilient.
Yet in that instant, she was utterly bewildered, feeling her entire brain engulfed by excruciating pain.
"..."
You Longtao hadn't expected the fight to break out so suddenly; he had intended to inquire about the Golden Bell.
But as a Demon-suppression Great General, his reactions were incredibly fast.
The moment Shen Yi made his move, You Longtao had already closed his eyes, summoning the power of the Yin God within him.
Just then,
Shen Yi seemed to sense something, grabbed hold of the Rabbit Demon's long hair, and without mercy, flung her out, smashing through the teahouse's roof and soaring into the air like a torn sack.
He turned into a gust of wind and swept out of the teahouse.
He casually flicked his sword fingers.
The Tao seed within the Swallow Heaven inner core rapidly became violent and fierce; a surging demonic power burst forth from within him, staining the entire sky a pale red.
A colossal crimson sword, over ten zhang long, swiftly solidified.
Sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling echoed incessantly in Yong'an City, as if a fierce dragon sprang from the abyss and tigers prowled the forests.
The enormous sword phantom forcefully shot forth!
Fierce dragons and malevolent tigers twined around the sword, dragging out long streams of light, violently assaulting the frail figure in the air!
The vast demonic power engulfed the woman, and two ferocious beast mouths seemed eager to chew her to pieces.
Shen Yi hovered in the sky, his black robes billowing, as he looked down indifferently at the Demonic Beast plummeting downward.
He took a step mid-air, and his figure suddenly appeared behind the Rabbit Demon.
Under the power of the sixth transformation of the Immortal Demon, the six peerless fierce demons within him all roared terrifyingly, though only resounding in his mind. Yet that intangible oppression made the entire Yong'an City feel as if it were being watched by a Demon, the atmosphere oppressive and terrifying, falling into dead silence.
Shen Yi's five fingers emanated cyan light.
He looked toward the plummeting rabbit demon, and as it fell halfway through the air, the cyan light surged in waves, and his palm slammed into her once more!
Under the mighty force and the tearing of the cyan light, the rabbit demon's body burst open, tendons snapped and bones shattered.
Scalding monster blood bloomed in the air, like a delicate rose.
"Is the person still alive?"
The inquiry echoed in her ears, and amidst the intense agony, the rabbit demon plunged into madness; yet the opponent's hand was already throttling her throat, tightening its grip.
That seemingly slender body concealed a strength so terrifying that even demons found it appalling!
She struggled frantically.
She wanted to threaten, to intimidate, and a persistent thought lingered, an instinctive desire to beg for mercy.
However, the youth simply aimed to silence her by crushing her neck.
After he posed the question, he didn't even leave time for her to respond!
If you don't want to know, then why ask?! The rabbit demon roared in her heart.
In an instant, she felt the grip on her neck loosen slightly.
Subconsciously, she screamed, "He's escaped! Golden Bell is a figment of my illusion! He has escaped!"
Before her words faded, the rabbit demon felt an empty sensation in her abdomen as if something was missing, her opponent's proficient movements combined with the cyan light on his fingertip made the pain imperceptible.
Afterwards, the young man quickly withdrew his gaze, too indifferent to spare her another look, a stark contrast to his earlier focus.
Shen Yi placed the demon core into the silver bell, casually ending the life of the demon and sealing the blood and essence.
[Slain Embrace Pill Realm Flamemane White Jade Rabbit Demon, total lifespan of 8,100 years, remaining lifespan of 2,900 years, absorption complete]
Tsk, even the White Deer pales in comparison.
Shen Yi felt somewhat disappointed; he had thought that a Demon Monarch daring to venture into Qingzhou would, at the very least, have some substantial strength.
Who gave her the courage?
"..."
You Longtao walked out of the teahouse in silence.
When Shen Yi dismissed the rabbit demon, he realized that the other party didn't want him to intervene.
Although somewhat puzzled, he temporarily refrained from acting.
But he never imagined that, before his tea even had the chance to cool, the Howling Moon Demon King had become a widower.
In just a few moves, Shen Yi revealed a level of formidable truth and body training techniques not seen anywhere else in Qingzhou, along with a physical strength that was unfathomable.
In comparison, the martial skill of the Embrace Pill Realm and the previously heard Teleportation Art seemed more acceptable.
Inside Yong'an City, almost everyone retreated into their homes.
Under the fierce demonic power that seemed to threaten the entire city with slaughter, even the highest cultivator of the city, Patriarch Deng, only dared to stand at a far distance, anxiously watching.
Then, looking up at the black-robed figure in the sky, it became increasingly familiar...
The rest of the martial artists didn't even dare to cast a glance in that direction.
For a time, the group of demon hunters, still foolishly standing on the street, appeared extremely out of place.
Shen Yi put away the Xiaoyao Riding the Wind Technique and landed beside the crowd.
Considering the earlier vicious scene, these demon hunters, who lived on the edge of the blade, also inexplicably felt some fear; even though Officer Shen was clearly slaying demons, something felt off...
"How come General Shen is here?"
You Longtao regained his composure... though there wasn't much to regain, as he was still utterly confused.
The other party should have been on his way to the Imperial City, so why suddenly appear in Tingyang County, and without wearing the profound armor?
"I just happened to be passing through and received the message left by General You," Shen Yi nodded slightly. After all, if he told the other party that he had taken You's scent and rushed over from Qingzhou City overnight using the Teleportation Art, it would sound strangely odd.
